To all whom it may concern: 7

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM F. ANDER- SON, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of Torringt-on, in the county of Goshen and State of Wyoming, have invented a new and useful Vise, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to visas for holding round shafts and has for its objects theprovision of a vise of this class having adjustable means therein whereby any sized shaft (within its capacity) may be gripped and to afford facilitieswhereby the gripped shaft may be quickly released. Other objects will appear a the description progresses.

I do not confine myself to the preciseform of the invention as hereinafter disclosed but wish it understood that various'modifications and minor details of construction may :0 be made within thescope of. what hereinafter is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.v I y, I

Similar referencecharacters refer to like parts throughout the several views/ Figure lrepresents an elevation, of the invention; Fig- 2, aplan view of Fig. 1;

Fig. 3, an elevation of the body; Fig; 4, a

plan view of Fig. 8; and Figs. 5 and 6, a

front and end elevation, respectively, ofa toothed jaw, drawn to an enlarged scale.

The invention comprises a body '1, having substantially a V groove 19, running verticall therein and apertures in the sides thereof; ledges 21 extending horizontally inward at the lowerend of said groove 19;

lugs 17 extending horizontally. from said body 1 said lugs having horizontal holes thcrethru at-right anglesthereto; a bolt 3 disposed in said holes; ablock 2, having a 1 threaded hole therein, mounted on said bolt 3; a threaded bolt 4, having a grooved head 5. screwed thru said threaded hole in block 2; jaws 6, having teeth T thereon the faces thereof being sloped downward toward the apex of groove 19, disposed vertically against the sides of groove 19; springs 15 disposed under jaws 6 and on ledges 21, adapted to lift said jaws to the position shown by the dotted lines 6; and bolts 7 extending thru apertures 20 and into threaded holes in jaws 6; a plate 8, having slots in the corners thereof; chains 9 disposed in said slots and held by staples 10; stirrups 11 connected to chains 9 and supporting the cornersof body 1 and a screw 12 mounted in plate 8, having'a lever 13. i

Primarily the invention isintended to be used in connection with a pressure press, its

function being to hold a. shaft while a gear isforcedthereonby the actionjof'the press exerting a pressureffof about thirty tons.

Whenusedin this connection, the. body 1 is laiduon the bedof said press the shaft 1% placed between the jaws 6 and the bolt 4 screwed up until the grooved head 5 touches the" shaft 14; As the shaft 14 movesslightly downward,'the, ridges formed between the groove on head 5 engage the surface of sha'ft'ld, and swings bolt 4 in an arc of a circle of which bolt 3 is the center and thereby produces a toggle effect which holds shaft 14 firmly against theteetlrof jaws 6 and prevents further; downward movement, thereby holding said shaft securely while a gear or-collar is forced thereon. The shaft 14 may be released by swinging bolt 4 11piward 'or by lifting said shaft. 9 The head ,5 maybe a swivel headior may be made'inr- 'tegra'l with bolt 4. :For use on jobsv where a press is not available I provide a plate 8 havingscrew-12 and ,connect body 1 thereto 15, inlthe position shown by the dotted lines 6 but'when shaft 1 1 is forced downward the jaws 6'also1'nove downward thereby cutting into the shaft but not scraping said shaft.

lclaim z I j 1. 'A'vise of the'class described, in combination, a horizontally disposed body A adapted to be mounted on the bed of a pres sure press, said body having substantially a V groove running vertically therein, and

.apertures in the sides thereof extending into said groove; ledges extending horizontally inward at the lower end of said groove; lugs extending horizontally outward from said body, said lugs having horizontal holes therethru at right angles thereto; a bolt disposed in said holes in said lugs; a block mounted on said bolt, said block having a threaded hole therethru; a threaded bolt screwed thru said threaded hole, said bolt having a grooved head; jaws, having the threaded holes in said jaws; and springs disposed under said jaws and on said ledges,

adapted to lift said jaws; for the purposes set forth. H I p 2.

3. A vise of the class described, in combination, a body adapted to be mounted horizont-ally on the bed of a pressure press, said body having substantially a V grooveflrunning vertically therein; ledges extending inwardly from said body at-the lower end of said. V groove; lugs extending outwardly from said body and having'horizontal holes therein; a bolt mounted in said holQSQa block, having a threaded hole therethru, mounted on said bolt; a threaded "bolt screwed thru said, threaded hole said block; andjawshaving teeth thereon, disposed verticallyagainst the sides said groove above said ledges; for the purposes set forth. a I l i 4.
